And that's great, but I have more faith in you - rando from the internet who's expressed clearly well meaning desires - than I do in the system, whether that's us's crappy healthcare, NHS in the uk or whatever - I do not have faith in governments and with healthcare providers impressed into the task of deciding who gets to claim their pain is unbearable.

And for the remainder: people will suicide. If you take away their options, they'll step in front of busses or jump off bridges, potentially traumatizing and putting others at risk. They'll suicide by cop, they'll drive their cars into the opposing lane. There's something to be said for giving people the dignity of choice.

Good luck.

I likewise don't have faith in governments or healthcare providers, but that's where I don't want to just place this in their hands and trust them to handle it in a responsible way.
